Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physical activity and exercise have been shown to be protective factors for the symptoms of mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression. Other common protective factors include older age, education, marriage, and social support. Sugar and fat intake are unrelated to the development of mental disorders. Refraining from smoking and drugs and being socially active are positive behaviors that promote health, but are not specifically related to anxiety and depression.
